Relationships
There are a number of different relationships that are important in the NewEarth Series. There is the sibling relationship as you see with Jamie and Janie, the sisters. Tad and Hess are a set of brothers where you see a bit of how they relate to one another, and of course in book 6 the…
Read MoreCyber Stunts
There were warning signs about a month ago. We started looking for a glitch or an attack. Not much I can do, but Bryon my cyber expert knew what he was seRching for. He managed to start cleaning things up, and weeding things out. Comments are active again. If you left a comment in the…
Read More2 Suns, 2 Moons
One of the joys of worldbuilding is coming up with the physical world for a story. In the case of the NewEarth Series I decided on a sentient planet, female, with two suns that she orbits around with two moons that rotate around her. In making that choice I had to figure rotation, times, size…

Read MoreDragon or Human Insults
One of the more interesting insults used in the NewEarth Series is the use of species characterizations. For instance a gossipy person is a gibber.

Read MorePhone Manners
Has anyone else noticed that phone manners have changed? When I was a child we answered the phone with a family greeting. We were taught to say goodbye before we hung up, my mother insisted that we not announce that someone was in the bathroom and it was considered necessary to cover the speaker when…
Read MoreVisiting!
In my books I have humans and dragons who practice the art of visiting. It is a skill, something humans have done for thousands of years, but recently it has gone out of fashion. I am not sure if technology has disrupted the practice or if people are finding other ways to communicate and socialize…
Read MoreHoliday, Sickness, and Books
First I want to say happy NewYear! My head is still spinning from the holidays. I guess I got sick right after Christmas and have been fighting this cold that morphed into bronchitis until I went to the doctor for some of the good stuff (antibiotics) that beefed up my immune army of soldiers and…
Read MoreCombined Territories
Grabon and Heron’s territories are called that after book 6 when Heron claims the second territory along with a Grabon. The name suits the stories because it is a combined species settlement. It combines languages, cultures, and customs. The market is a cultural exchange where a dragon or human can buy goods- dragon or human…
Read MoreJob Hunt
As some of you may know, I am currently looking for a day job to pay for my expensive writing habit. I laugh, but I need to sell a lot more books before it pays for art and advertising. That being said, I am not giving up but willing to work to buy more time.…
